HARNETT HEALTH provides a "defined benefit" pension plan for employees who work 1000 hours during the calendar year. Employees are vested after five years of service in the plan. The cost of the plan is paid entirely by Harnett Health. Benefits are provided based on a predetermined formula, based on years of vested service and final average compensation

403-b Retirement Savings Plan - defined contribution plan

Employees who work at least 1250 hours per year are eligible to contribute to the 403-b plan. HARNETT HEALTH matches employee contributions into a 403-b tax deferred savings plan. Following one year in the plan, HARNETT HEALTH contributes a 25% match of the first 4% of salary the employee saves. Employee contributions always belong to the employee. Employees are vested, or have ownership rights, to the matching account on a stepped basis that reaches 100% after 5 years of service.

DENTAL INSURANCE PLANS – Guardian Dental

  • Basic - Preventive and Basic care only
  • Enhanced - Preventive, basic, and major services covered, orthodontic benefits

The Guardian Dental plan allows you to seek treatment from any dentist of your choice. A dental PPO works much like a medical PPO – you have access to a network of dental providers and can choose to visit a dentist in- or out-of-network.

The PPO pays benefits at the same level whether you receive care from in-network or out-of-network providers. Your out-of-pocket costs will be reduced, however, when you stay in the PPO network. Why? Because our PPO providers have agreed to offer Harnett Health System employees lower negotiated fees for covered services. In addition, in-network providers will also file the claim for you and cannot balance bill you the difference between the negotiated rate and their normal rate. Out-of-network providers do not have to accept the negotiated rates and can bill you for the difference. For questions and assistance concerning your dental benefits, contact Guardian at 1-800-541-7846.
